Below is a link to the second commentary ( first commentary (http://media5.hypernet.com/ubb/ultimatebb.php?ubb=get_topic;f=5;t=008569) ). Unfortunately, a full transcript is not posted at the National Public Radio website. An audio link is, however, available. A synopsis of the piece is as follows.
Yesterday, we heard from a commentator who expressed his concern that the use of military force in Iraq is not well-advised. Today, another view on the appropriateness of the use of American military force --- all over the world -- from commentator and Navy pilot Ken Harbaugh. He says the U.S. military is a force for good in the world -- in Kosovo, Taiwan, Afghanistan -- and what motivates him and his colleagues is a sense of moral obligation as participants in the most powerful fighting force in the world.
